I live in Asia. There is a new one every day.
I'll never forget my first week or so in Seoul; you would catch these horrid stenches of shit and raw sewage. You stop smelling it after awhile as the terrible pollution of the city coats your nose and prevents you from smelling anything.
About 10 years ago, my neighbour died of a heart attack. After not hearing from him for over a week, the family called the police to check up on him. As my godmother owned the building, I had the masters to the place. As I opened the door a crack for the cops, a stench just whomped us all in the face. He was propped up against the door. He had had his coronary while putting away the groceries. The meat left out for over a week in the heated apartment added an extra kick to this nefarious smell.
A cop later told me that it was one of the worst smells he had experienced on the job. The heat being cranked up so high had sped up decomposition. It was quite amazing that we did not smell it at all before. That building was well built.
I ended up staying somehwere else for a week. It took that long for the cleaning company to get the lingering smell to a tolerable level. Ughh.
